Co-ordinate to my Shorter Oxford, immense has been used as a slang synonym for first-class since 1762.
The history of English (and of almost other languages, for that matter) is a history founded on figurative and metaphorical usage.
In this day and age, does anybody use awesome in the sense that something inspires dread?
"Immense" might have meant "first-class" in 1762. It does not, however, mean that in the slang of today. Indeed, it does not seem to have a slang meaning at all, simply only a literal ane referring to great size. If you want to use the slang of 1762, feel free. All the same, I think if you refer to "macaroni", for instance, well-nigh people will believe you are speaking of pasta, and not stylish vesture. In the aforementioned way, I recall that in 2007 upon being called "immense" considerably more people would think you were describing them as "fat" rather than equally "splendid".

Welcome back, Miss Piggy 
I don't like your two sentences too much, I would use "immense" rather poetically "I felt immense relief when I saw Miss Piggy back" for example

As the others have noted, immense carries a pregnant cogent swell size. For instance, "Carly used an immense corporeality of newspaper in printing out her presentation."
Certainly in my country the discussion immense is used every bit slang, and would be looked down upon as such by those interested in speaking proper English language.
Many sheets of paper are indicated by this usage.
"Your presentation was excellent." works much amend in this instance.

"Excellent" refers to quality.
"Immense" relates to size.
"Great" is a summit that could apply to both.
"He had an immense dwelling house that was both splendid in its architecture, and also had great attention paid to adroitness."
Although I would more likely write:
"He had an immense home that was both fantabulous in its compages, and also had the finest of craftsmenship."

My ii cents: I live in Southern California (home to many surfer dudes) and oasis't heard "immense" used that way. But I'm non a surfer myself...maybe it's very specific to the subculture.

I've heard the term "immense help", along with several variations, used many times.
Example: "You have been of immense assistance to me!"
Significant: You have been very helpful to me.
Example: "This lexicon was (an immense help/immensely helpful)."
Meaning: This dictionary was very useful.

Welcome to WR Wallslide.
I still think your examples lean more towards deep and large vs. splendid and great.
Information technology must exist a English thing teddy.

Superlatives accept a habit of taking on a figurative meaning and immense is no different than whatever of the others; viz., Smashing! Glorious! Outstanding! Treasured! For immense, the adverb form gives us the significant of, "Your plan has helped united states of america immensely, Jones," said the CEO. Such a quality of immense means in an unmeasureably way because the CEO is talking about something besides size. He could just likewise take put it, "Your programme has given united states of america an immense meaning to our clients, Jones. Similar the asset of Skillful Will information technology can't exist accurately measured.
